This season of “The Bachelor” is different for multiple reasons, from Season 23 star Colton Underwood being a virgin to his unique 4-hour finale. Another big change ABC viewers will notice during the 2019 installment is the lack of the infamous two-on-one episode.

During “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” viewers squirm as they watch the leads choose between two contestants, ultimately booting the rejected contestant from the competition mid-date. Some seasons even go as far as to host a three-on-one competition. This season, however, that is not the case.

Next week’s episode is the last installment before hometown dates and Colton’s final four, which means it’s now or never for a two-on-one. Though based on episode 7 spoilers, it doesn’t appear that will happen this time around.

According to Reality Steve, Colton will host three one-on-one dates in episode 7. Tayshia, Caelynn, and Hannah B. will each spend quality time with Colton in his home state of Colorado, though only two will get date roses. (It is rumored that Hannah B. will be eliminated mid-date.)

That leaves just four other women left in the competition. Rumors suggest that Cassie, Heather, Kirpa, and Hannah G. will have a “4-on-1 group date.” It is unclear exactly how Kirpa and Heather get eliminated, though it is confirmed Cassie and Hannah G. make it to hometowns -- and further.

The next episode of “The Bachelor” airs Monday, Feb. 18, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
